Reblog This And Tag The First Vine That Comes To Ur Mind. Mine Is The One Of The People Yelling At Cabbage

I read a fair number of recipes on the ten thousand interchangeable recipe blogs that exist, and often they say something like "This recipe is a family favourite!" or "This a crowd-pleaser" etc. and I roll my eyes a little bit every time because of course they are, it goes without saying! People like food! Nearly any special-occasion home-cooked meal is going to be popular.

But there is one recipe, one cake, that has recontextualised all those comments for me and now actually I think those bloggers might be wrong about what a family favourite is. It sure as hell isn't Interchangeable Chocolate Cake No. 7.

I'm telling you this because I need you to know the seriousness of the power I am going to bestow on you. And hey, maybe your friends and family have different preferences than mine do. Maybe you need to find another recipe to fill this role. But you must know that there's a recipe out there, and not even a particularly alluring one or a particularly difficult one, which people will bring up in unrelated conversations to you four years later.

If I so much as say the word cake, my family all turn to face me like a pack of hungry wolves. Even the ones that don't like food!! Health nuts and people who simply don't enjoy eating and people with no appetite and people I have no goddamn memory of ever having cooked for, all of them come up and say to me "Hey remember that cake-" I asked my brother and his girlfriend what foods they're looking forward to, when they return home after three years in Japan, and they say "You know that cake?"

It doesn't sound particularly appetizing. I only made it the first time because it was gluten free and I had a bunch of lemons. Please don't let the name inform your opinion here. This is a fairly fast and simple cake that requires no special equipment and people will literally never stop asking you for it.

Lemon Polenta Cake

This cake is a sort of Anglo-Italian amalgam. The flat, plain disc is reminiscent of the confections that sit geometrically arranged in pati

It's not even my favourite cake! I'd rather have basque burnt cheesecake, which is harder and more expensive to make and consists almost entirely of fat and sugar but still manages to be a little savoury... But people want the weird corn one.

To be fair, this is the only cake that'll make me dip my fingers into boiling sugar without regret.

hang on I’m trying to see something

don’t tell me the name of your pet, just tell me in the tags the name you call them that’s got nothing to do with their actual name

An aside from the next morning: Oddly, this makes Lena the Georgie of this universe. She doesn't seem to want much. She's just vibin

I'm seeing a lot of people attempt to assign the FearsTM to the Magnus Protocol episodes and I want to start by saying I respect it. I do. Love some good sleuthing.

But.

The Magnus Protocol takes place in a new universe, with new rules. Within each case, the figure meeting their grisly downfall is motivated by ~desire,~ not fear.

Desire for love, desire for revenge, desire for success, beauty, fame, etc.

With that in mind, each character within the OIAR can also be defined by desire. Sam wants answers. Alice wants companionship. Gwen wants success. Celia wants freedom. And so on.

In the last series, defeating fear was all someone needed to survive; defeating your own desires would be much harder to pull off.

Start fearing for your favorite character now.
